The Sylvies

Sylvia and Bernard LawryIt all started when Sylvia Lawry placed a classified ad in the New York Times more than 60 years ago. Sylvia went on to single-handedly launch an international movement to end multiple sclerosis. Today, the MS movement is made up of people — like Sylvia — who know that passion alone can move mountains.

The Minnesota Chapter created the Sylvies — named in honor of National MS Society Founder Sylvia Lawry — to celebrate the amazing people who have brought their passion to our movement. At this annual event we recognize top volunteers, fundraisers, donors and corporate partners.
